Rupe,
Mine were supposedly  adjusted by a Harley/Triumph shop (that was 
shedding the Triumph  dealership) at 12K, and by an excellent local  
mechanic at 25K.   He said he had to adjust all but 3 of them and gave me 
the shim  measurements he added. 
I'm just a little ovedue for the 36K, but it goes  in next week to our 
Triumph dealership.  We will see what they look  like at 41K.

But I use little to no oil between 6K changes using Amsoil  oil and filters.

I just had my ST in for a 24k mile check (at 25.4k miles.....) They had to  
adjust 3 shims, on my 12k mile service they used 1 shim.  So far, no  burning 
of oil.  The mechanic stated my bike was in excellent shape.   I don't know if 
that was lip service or not.  
 
I've been using the Mobil MX4T for my oil changes and the Purolator Pure  one 
oil filter.  No complaints here.
 
Tom
